Provençal Tablescape
How to create Clodagh’s Provençal Tablescape
What you need:
Blue, mustard or Lavender tablecloth
White Napkins
Rosemary sprigs
Butchers twine
Brown paper label tag
Candlesticks and candles
A mix of pottery pots, vases, second hand medicine bottles, glass jars and bud vases
A mix of flowers and branches (I’ve used lavender, sage flowers, olive branches and nepeta).
Bunches of Grapes on the vine
Olives
Baguette
Steps
1. Cover the table with the tablecloth and lay down the placemats, plates and tumblers.
2. Have your napkins folded into a square, then take one corner and point it forwards allowing the rest of the napkin to fall naturally. Place a sprig of rosemary onto of the napkin and wrap around the the butchers twine with the paper label tags attached (write out the names of your guests on the paper label tags beforehand).
3. To the left of each place-settings, place a baguette diagonally. At the top of each place setting add bowls of olives.
3. Place your largest pots or vases at either end of the table and fill them with flowers (I used lavender in pots). Next to these pots/vases place large lanterns with the pillar candles inside.
4. Along the centre of the table place the candlesticks, bud vases, medicine bottles and smaller pots, fill them with flowers, branches and candles.
5. Next line the centre display with bunches of grapes .
